• Automation – Need for automation, Rules of automation
• Exposure to the Automation Concepts and Kick start the
learning of one of the leading tool QTP

Need of AutomationNeed of Automation
• Speed – Automation Scripts run very fast when
compared to human users
• Reliable – Tests perform precisely the same operations
each time they are run, there by eliminating human error.
• Repeatable – We can test how the application reacts after
repeated execution of the same operation
• Comprehensive – We can build a suite of tests that covers
every feature in our application
• Reusable – We can reuse tests on different versions of an
application, even if the user interface changes.

Rules of AutomationRules of Automation
Testing Tools are usually very expensive.
The test manager or the test lead has to
think twice before going in for automating
his test effort. There are also some widely
held false notions or beliefs about
automation tools.
In general, the golden rules that should be
kept in mind in the regard are.

Golden RulesGolden Rules
• Product feature understanding, test planning, test case
documentation, test bed setup, defect tracking,
progression tests are all done in manual mode
• Test automation success depends on robustness of the
test cases not on the test tool.
• Every manual step has commands in test scripts
• If it is not worth, DO NOT AUTOMATE.
• Do not build application logic in your test scripts
• Always have a common know base state for test cases
• One test script Action must address one test case.

Object SpyObject Spy
Object spy is used to display or view all the physical properties and
methods of an object.

Object IdentificationObject Identification
• Used to Map non Standard Object to Standard Object
• Used to configure Recognition properties for an object class.
o Recognition properties are configured using
• Mandatory Properties
• Assistive properties (are used when mandatory property fails to
recognize the object uniquely)
• Ordinal Identifier (are used when both mandatory and assistive fails
to recognize the object uniquely)
o Location (Represent x- coordinate of the screen or parent object Nearest to
x is 0)
o Index (Works based on active screen – active screen being 0 by default)
o Creation Time (For web browsers, no. of instances decides the creation time)

Object RepositoryObject Repository
• Stores the object for the purpose of playing back
• Uses Logical Name and Description properties to
recognize the object from script and application
respectively
• Description Properties are created through Object
Identification
• Repository can be managed using Per Action mode
(.mtr File) and Shared Repository Mode (.tsr File) by
the script

Object Repository Dialog Box-Object Repository Dialog Box-

Recording ModesRecording Modes
• Three Modes of Recording
o Context Sensitive or Normal Recording – Uses the object class
and properties and method to perform action.
o Analog Recording – Understands only the key or mouse
movements
o Relative to the screen: Desktop.RunAnalog “Track1”
o Relative to the window: Window(<<objName>>).RunAnalog “Track1”
o Low Level Recording – Understand the x and y coordinate of
the within the object on which the action is performed.
• Object(<<ObjName>>).Click (22,45)

Virtual ObjectVirtual Object
• Virtual Object is used to identify the properties of
similar objects in a particular Area.
Example: In normal recording if we select the paint brush
window, the script will look like this-
window(“Paint”).Activate
Window(“Paint”).Winobject(“colors”).Click 72,16
Window(“Paint”).Winobject(“colors”).Click 80,14
window(“Paint”).Close
If we are using Virtual object, the script will look like this-
window(“Paint”).Activate
Window(“Paint”).Winobject(“colors”).Virtual Button(“RED”)
Window(“Paint”).Winobject(“colors”).Virtual Button(“BLUE”)
window(“Paint”).Close

VB ScriptingVB Scripting
• Msgbox()

Action ParameterAction Parameter
• Action Parameter
o To create an Action Parameter – Go to Action, Right Click, Select Action Properties
and give Default value to be used.
o To Modify Action Parameter default value – Go to Action, Right Click, Select Action
Call Properties and select the parameter for which modification is needed, select
value column and click on configure value button under value.
o To control the iteration of Action Sheet, Go to Action, Right Click, Select Action call
properties and Run tab

Test Parameter &EnvironmentTest Parameter &Environment
• Test Parameter
o File->Setting->Parameter Tab
o Only constant value can be used
o To use the test parameter in the script, Test parameter needs to configured to action
parameter.
• Environment Parameter
o File->Setting->Environment Tab
o Build in and User defined parameters
o To use the environment in other machines, use export and import under environment
parameter tab

Multiple ActionsMultiple Actions
• How to Create New Actions?
o Creating as Independent Action (Call to New action, Select “at the
end of test” radio button)
o Creating as Nested Action (Call to new action, Select “After the
current test” radio button)
• Dependent Action – One action depends on another action for want
of data
o Using Datatable Output Value
o Using Output Parameter Output Value
o Output value
• Select the object from active screen, Right click, Select output value
• At Recording time Select from menu Insert->Output Value-
>Standard Output value

Reusable ActionsReusable Actions
• How to make an action as Reusable Action?
• Passing Parameters for Reusable Action
o Using Input Parameters
o Using Output Parameters
• SystemUtil Commands
• .Exist Command
• Syntex of Reusable Action
o RunAction “ActionName[ScriptName]”, One/Alliteration, Parameters(optional)

Dynamic ObjectsDynamic Objects
• What is Dynamic Object?
• When we can say, the object is dynamic?
• Ways to Solve those dynamic objects
o SetTOProperty
• Parent().Object(“Logical”).SetTOProperty “propertyName”,
Value
o Regular Expression
o Repository Parameter
o Smart Identification
• What is Smart Identification?
o It is a second level of Recognition Mechanism to recognize an
object when it is failed using Description properties
o It is not a permanent method to solve a dynamic object – It is an
indication to the user that the object is not managed using
description properties

Regular ExpressionsRegular Expressions
• This can be used where there is a pattern of Change.
Regular Expressions can be used in the following areas:
1) Check Points
2) In parameterization
3) Data Driven test
4) Actions
5) Exception Handling….etc

Using a Regular ExpressionUsing a Regular Expression

Some Regular Expressions-Some Regular Expressions-
Expression Char Description
Period . Matches any single character
Asterisk * Matches zero to any number of occurrences of the
preceding character
Plus + Matches one to any number of occurrences of the
preceding character
Brackets [A-Z][a-z] Matches a range of characters
[0-9] Matches a range of numbers
w Matches any alphanumeric character including underscore
W Matches any non-alphanumeric character
Digit d Matches any digit
d{4} Matches exactly four digits

Smart Identification-Smart Identification-
• Smart Identification is used as Second level of recognition mechanism.
When the Quick test fails to recognize the object through description
properties, it tries to identify the object using Smart identification.
By invoking smart identification, system takes more time than usual
time so if an object is identified in smart identification method then that
object needs to be attended
Two properties are available in Smart identification
They are-
Base Filter Properties (This property has to match)
Optional Filter Properties (Atleast one of the property should be
unique)

Synchronization PointSynchronization Point
• Synchronization point maintains the time coordination
between testing process and your application process.
• Types of Synchronization
o Sync
o Wait
o WaitProperty
o Exist

Check PointsCheck Points
• Check Point is a verification point that
compares the current value of the specified
property with the expected value for that
property.
• Standard Check Point
• Text/ Text Area Check Point
• Bitmap Check point
• Database Check Point
• XML Check Point
• Accessibility Check Point/ Web Checkpoint

Checkpoint TypesCheckpoint Types

Inserting a Checkpoint During RecordingInserting a Checkpoint During Recording

Insert a Checkpoint After RecordingInsert a Checkpoint After Recording

Identifying a Failed CheckpointIdentifying a Failed Checkpoint

Exception Handling-Exception Handling-
• It enables Quick test to detect and handle when
unexpected error occurred during execution time.
• Types of Exception Handling:
o Popup Exception Handling
o Object State Exception Handling
o Test Run Exception Handling
o Application Crash
